70,5km – 9H37′<\/p>\n
Start today on US 27, which takes us to Ocala.\u00a0 The traffic is heavy toward Gainesville and I\u2019m glad I chose to go around that city in order to reach Lake City tomorrow.\u00a0 As we leave Ocala at our 20th<\/sup> km, we continue on US 27 North but there is a complete change of scenery.\u00a0 We are in the middle of prairies and woods and there are lots of horses.\u00a0 One ranch follows another and they are all very luxurious.\u00a0 The stables are more like sumptuous homes than lodging for horses.\u00a0 This region seems to be a sanctuary for our equine friends and we see some grazing in their pasture.<\/p>\n As for Serge, he had trouble recovering from a state of weakness where he perspired heavily and his legs were weak.\u00a0 The situation improved at the 25th<\/sup> km.\u00a0 It\u2019s a long time but Serge isn\u2019t discourages because he knows that it is only momentary and part of the game.\u00a0 Several puddles remain from last night\u2019s storm but the earth quickly absorbed it all and my car didn\u2019t get stuck in any mud.\u00a0 At Williston, km 55, Serge took a small route 41, which he did not like because he cannot see cars behind him going out to pass another car and sometimes they do not see him either.\u00a0 For that reason he prefers running on the double two or three lane highways.\u00a0 We are demanding and prefer divided highways.<\/p>\n Serge continues to drink 2 gallons of water during his run (1 gallon = 3.78 L).\u00a0 He does not drink any specific energy drink because he finds that in the long run they are not easy on the intestines.\u00a0 He always adds coffee to his first morning feeing (today he had a double ration of coffee and muffins) and a small bottle of Coca Cola for the last two refueling of the day.\u00a0 He adds a bowl of soup at the end of the morning.\u00a0 In the evening and at night he generally drinks about 1 liter of liquid: 1 beer (33cl) and the rest water.\u00a0 He does not drink beer every evening.\u00a0 He started drinking beer in the USA because American beer, like the coffee, is rather weak so it\u2019s easy to enjoy.<\/p>\n Another day has finished normally and Serge tells me \u201cit was unbelievable\u201d.\u00a0 What was?\u00a0 This morning I didn\u2019t bet on the time I would take to run a certain number of km!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 70,5km – 9H37′ Start today on US 27, which takes us to Ocala.\u00a0 The traffic is heavy toward Gainesville and I\u2019m glad I chose to go around that city in order to reach Lake City tomorrow.\u00a0 As we leave Ocala at our 20th km, we continue on US 27 North but there is a complete […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":386,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=381"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":385,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/381\/revisions\/385"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sergegirard.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
